Is there someone I could write to for an official clarification of a point of grammar?

I tell you why: a society I belong to insists that the plural of "woman member" is "women members", and I am sure it should be "woman members". I would like to find either a book or an authority on grammar who could resolve this issue, as it's really starting to get on my nerves! Any ideas?

Okay, I guess I was wrong. Silly language, English ;-)

(I was arguing with the entry all the way till it got to "master craftsman" etc, which seems to me to be the closest match, and then I had to concede the point).
